Hummingbirds in BC, Canada

 In Western Canada, we have 2 kinds of hummingbirds in BC.  One kind, Anna's Hummingbird, is here in British Columbia year round.  The other one, Rufous Hummingbird, is migratory, so they come to Canada from the South (Mexico and USA) only in the summer.

We just discovered that we have a few hummingbirds nearby and decided to buy some plants and feeders to attract them.  

Guess what?!  It worked!  

The longer and more we put the feeders and plants out, they come visit often. Because they will breed each year, they will even bring their kids here to show them places to feed.


This is an Anna's Hummingbird male.  Very cute, right?


The hummingbirds fly fast and they will fly and drink from the feeders.  For feeders with footrest, they will like to sit and take sips from them.
